LEIGH LEOPARDS centre Jack Darbyshire has joined Rochdale Hornets on a month-long loan.

Leopards Head of Rugby Chris Chester said: “Jack has been playing well in our Reserves side and training well with our first team squad. This is an ideal opportunity for him to make his senior debut and play games in a strong competition in a side pressing for the play-offs..
“I shall look forward to watching Jack in action and will be keenly monitoring his performances.”
Darbyshire came through the scholarship and academy ranks at Warrington Wolves before joining Leigh on a 12-month contract ahead of the 2024 season.
